Local people looked at the Taoists, saying: "Cultivators, guiding others, themselves, and ghosts, cultivate the Dao and comprehend the Dao. Only when the Dao Heart is upright can one gain merit. Do I need to explain what merit is?"
Zhan Meng nodded, full of respect: "You truly understand a lot."
The local smiled and said: "I just heard some things. They come for the City God's blessing, and because the City God also guides ghosts into the Ghost Gate, they're here to borrow the pathway. See those offerings? To borrow the pathway, naturally you need the right attitude; those are all tribute to the City God and various ghosts."
Zhan Meng looked at those incense candles, and images formed in his mind, getting more excited the more he thought about it, saying: "Thank you, brother, for enlightening me. This grand occasion, I must participate."
